Partea I: CITIT (Citirea u atentie) The use of uniforms arose with the reation of standing armies. Whether for personal, regional, or national servie, those who raised these armies reognized the need to distinguish friend from foe. For this reason they dressed their soldiers alike in lothes that featured distintive olors and emlems. Even if after the introdution of firearms armor eame outdated, olorful uniforms remained in use. The olor worn y German riflemen of the First World War was feldgrau ('field-grey'). It was proaly desended from the grey-green olor that was worn y German foresters and huntsmen, many of whom were reruited into the army. It was not intended to funtion as amouflage, however; rather, it was symoli of their former oupations. Although most modern amouflage uniforms have een influened y these suessful German patterns, few of them ould e alled diret opies. In fat, as more ountries adopt or reate patterns for their armed fores, it seems that amouflage uniforms are as distintive as flags, and that they naturally ontinue to fulfill the original purpose of military uniforms that of distinguishing friend from foe. 1. We learn from this passage that... a. Uniforms were reated y regional armies.. Uniforms made the differene etween enemies and allies.. Uniforms were reognized y those who raised the armies. d.

Although inspired y the German patterns, military uniforms nowadays... a. reprodue the olors of national flags.. ontinue to e diret opies of enemies attle uniforms.. ome in a multitude of amouflage areas. d. represent the unique patterns of a ountry s armed fores. A wargame, (also war game ) is a strategy game that deals with military operations of various types, real or fitional. Wargaming is the hoy dediated to the play of suh games, whih an also e alled onflit simulations, or onsims for short. When used professionally y the military to study warfare, "war game" may refer to a simple theoretial study or a fullsale military exerise. Hoy wargamers have traditionally used "wargame", while the military has generally used "war game"; this is not a hard and fast rule. Although there may e disagreements as to whether a partiular game qualifies as a wargame or not, a general onsensus exists that all suh games must explore and represent some feature or aspet of human ehavior diretly earing on the ondut of war, even if the

2 game sujet itself does not onern organized violent onflit or warfare. The usiness wargames exists too, ut in general they are only role playing games ased on market situations. 4. The text informs us that a. Wargames differ from war games in terms of player numers.. The purpose of wargames is to develop strategi military plans..

Games of this genre investigate people s harateristis in relation with warfare.. Games of this type qualify for the sujet of violent onflit on games market.. Wargames stand for usiness related onflits and they affet markets. d. Wargames only play usiness roles onerning violent onflit or warfare.
